Ryan Lochte: Great At Swimming, Terrible At Giving Interviews (Video)
Coming into the 2012 Summer Olympics, a lot of attention was paid to the rivalry in the pool between Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte. The two USA swimmers are the same age, but Phelps monopolized the spotlight in Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008. So nobody really noticed that Lochte had won 6 Olympic [...]

When the temperature is soaring and the summer sun is blazing, nothing feels better than diving into a cold pool or lake.

Teenage Swimmer Gets Forearm Eaten Off By Alligator In (Where Else?) Florida (Pics)
There are lots of things you don’t want to do in Florida, and most of them involve alligators. For example, don’t take your small dog for a walk in a state park. Don’t try to retrieve your golf ball when it’s gone into a water hazard, even if you think it is right by the [...]

13 Sexiest Spring Break Sports
Every year at this time, every college student on every college campus in America has his or her mind on only one thing: March Madness. And I’m not talking about the basketball tournament. Only 68 schools get to participate in that. No, I’m talking about the other kind of March Madness: spring break. It’s right [...]

Picture Of The Day: He Sure Does Like Swimming
It goes without saying that hockey players love playing hockey, football players love playing football, soccer players love playing soccer and basketball players love playing basketball.

9 Obscure Sports Museums
In the past seven weeks, the sporting press has spilled a lot of ink (both real ink and, in the case of sports websites like this one, virtual ink) covering the 2011 inductions to both the baseball and football halls of fame. It makes sense, of course, since these are some of the most popular [...]

9 Most Boring Sports to Watch on TV
Sometimes, the “next best thing to being there” can be pretty damn boring. Many sports hinge on atmosphere or a sense of intimacy that the camera just can’t capture. And sometimes, boring sports are just made more boring by not being there. The good news is, if you’re watching a boring sport on TV, you [...]

Blind Swimmer Inspires His Teammates (Video)
Counting each and every one of your strokes as you race across your lane can be difficult while in the heat of the battle, but it is what Jason Polansky must do every time he jumps into the pool. Not because it helps him stay focused, or because it is some crazy superstition, but because [...]

Picture Of The Day: She’s Paid To Do That!
You would think that this synchronized swimmer’s position is one of discomfort, but after taking a look at her facial expression, I can’t help but believe that she is actually enjoying herself, in an arousing sort of way.

That’s An Odd Looking Dive (GIF)
I’m not sure what to be more amazed about: The fact that this guy actually believed the diving board would support his fat ass properly, or the giant splash that was still created even though he simply spilled over into the pool. I can’t help but believe that if this GIF had been a few [...]

Picture Of The Day – Balance
If you ever hear somebody giving swimmers crap about their sport, step in and call them an idiot. Swimming isn’t my first sport of choice, by any means, but it’s pretty physically taxing and I respect anybody who can do it well (especially smoke weed and do it well). After seeing this picture, I guess [...]
